Apparently Firestone is getting into the big wheel business. 400 tread wear with a W (168mph) speed rating. Any thoughts?

I love them, and they look great too.

BFG's are my next tire. They look sweet and have great performance ratings.

I am going with BFGs next round but the Firestones may be a good all round tire for DD (my truck wont come out when it rains)........I do not like the looks of the tread design...looks like 2 different tire treads were mated...:thumpdown:

I like my toyo's

 

[viperpwred]

pirellis now... bfg next... stay away from firestone.... you may regret it in the end...

I like the looks of the tire but, FIRESTONE, just could not do it to myself.

I have seen too many Fireaparts come apart with catastrophic consequences.

Looks similar to the Nitto NT420 :dontknow:

BFG's. I can't fine any tire with a lower rating than 300.

After the Ford rollover fiasco, which also showed those fords rolled over no matter what tires were on it, they've stepped their game up. I've owned their AT and I now have the MT series on my truck. I wont buy another brand of tire for my truck. I originally had the BFGs A/ts (their street tires may be better?) but I got rid of that junk as soon as I could. I had nothing but problems with those tires. It's possible Firestone street tires are garbage, but I take my truck off the pavement quite a bit and they out perform any tire I've ever seen in the price range. Only thing better is maybe the Toyo MTs, but they cost 50% more. This is also a whole different breed of tires than the majority of you use and like I said, it's possible their street tires do suck. However, if they passed the quality of their rough terrain tires to their street lineup, I'd say give them a shot.

Firestone is just a brand name. Bridgestone has owned the name since before the calamity. My guess is they decided to resurrect the name for a new product.

I had Firestone Destination LE's on my old truck, 30,000 miles before I sold it and nary a problem. The whole SUV-rollover thing was a long time ago now.

Just got a good deal on some Cooper Zeon XTS-A they ride really good and have a pretty cool lookin tread design. they're 420 A A with a V speed rating. not the BFG's i wanted but for $600 mounted and balanced what the hell!:burnout:

firestones have a bad name going back many decades. Not sure if the reputation is deserved now, but I love my General Grabber UHP's.
Great all around tire, awesome looking and CHEAP!
I have the bfg g-forces on my cuda and they are a good tire, but they're $110 more per tire than the UHP's.
